Holy Ghost! play the Governor's Ball Festival in June and, in a smart match, kick off a tour with New Order in July which includes a stop at Williamsburg Park. Watch Holy Ghost!'s video here.

LCD Soundsystem might be saying adieu this week, but Holy Ghost!, a New York band that boasts a DFA Records pedigree and James Murphy's mentorship, are on the ascent. The duo of Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser, who drop their euphoric debut on April 5 on iTunes and physically on April 12, play two shows this week at Terminal 5, one poignantly conflicting with LCD Soundsystem's last show. The Alternate Side caught up with Millhiser and chatted about the new record, five of Holy Ghost!'s essential albums and what it means to say farewell to LCD Soundsystem ... for now. Plus, a free download of "Wait & See" from the album.
